  1. Great work sir,
    Thank you for taking the time to educate ..
    Many of us really appreciate your efforts..
    2 out of 3…. interesting to see the explanation of the first question..

  2. Blew no 1. But I guess the point is that the GDP includes many of the financial activities that are not directly related (or rather not related at all) to the actual production of services and goods?
